Should I continue my Film Making Career? Let me know what you think! ;-D

Now, on with the Carnival!

1. Jaime Teele, of the blog A Cheeto Named Larry (Why would anyone name a sliver of Junk Food? Now, naming a Boogie Mat, THAT I can totally understand! Not that I'VE done that...), has an entertaining essay that will bring back fond memories of the Glory Days of Youth to the older Cats in the audience, I'm sure.

When we first saw you it was love at first sight. You were such a playful little cat– a happy guy. The sparkle in your eye, it seemed, was magical - full of delightful curiosity and spunk. Now that I know you a little better, it seems we mistook the glow of your evil, evil soul for something pleasant. But that’s how Satan works, isn’t it?

2. The Viewspaper bills itself as the "Voice of the Youth of India", and one posting, submitted to the Carnival by Surbhi Bhatia of The Viewspaper, is written by a Cat owner named Kirandeep Virdi, over a year ago, and addresses the issue of healthcare for animals.

As any American Kitty knows, whose Human inexplicably spent all day, and half the night, last night, glued to the TV, and hogging the Computer, all the while only absent-mindedly paying us any attention (Only remembering to fill the food bowl when we pulled a piece of paper, or three, off the desk, hopped in their lap a dozen times, Hacked up a Hairball on the carpet, or threw a Hissy Fit.), there was some major Healthcare Legislation passed.

Anyway this person writes:

Good veterinarians are not easily available, especially in case of an emergency. Most of them are closed on weekends and even on weekdays have a short working time. There is no animal care directory, which can be accessed to with ease. Information regarding whatever measly services are available is extremely difficult to locate and immensely time consuming. And most of the times, the accessibility might be a problem. No animal help lines actually work. Ambulance services are non-existent. Government veterinary services are minimal. In short, there is no medical infrastructure whatsoever for animals in our country.

From Newspaer Columnist Sarah Clark, writer of The Mother Load Blog, comes a July 2008 tale of mighty heroism that only Tweety Bird & Granny could love. ;-D

Sylvesters son would no doubt put a paper bag over his head in shame. ;-D

I, Sarah Clark, mild mannered newspaper columnist, saved an innocent, defenseless bird from certain death in the jaws of a terrifyingly cruel monster the likes of which no weak-willed individual could ever contend.

When I saw the poor bird in the clutches of this furry villain, I leaped into action. Isis had dispatched another bird in our basement a week before, and I had been left to plug my ears and sing, “The Circle of Life” at the top of my lungs while she finished the job. I had no desire to repeat the horror of that experience.

There's one major surprise about this story, but you will have to read it for yourself because i ain't gonna spoil it. ;-D

5.At long last the Cats of The House of Chaos, and their Human are Blogging again, after many months!

It's been far too long, and I am glad to be the Carnival to welcome them back! ;-D

Indoor Cats, Feral Cats, The House of Chaos, and the Personal No-Play Zone, a tale of adapting to different lifestyles, and surroundings, that is the focus of this fascinating story by Babeth of The House of Chaos.

There is an interesting distinction to be made between feral and house cats...

Ferals don’t have time for play. They don’t have leisure for mock-fights. For them everyday life is a constant and repeated struggle for survival. They eat, but don’t enjoy the food because they must work hard to get it and will not always get it at all. They love to be petted, but remain ever vigilant throughout...

Our house cats have the luxury of being able to remain big kittens: they can sleep safely, eat safely, play safely. The only need they know is when their feeding bowls are empty and they wonder what is going wrong with the simians. They know not want, because everything is in a paw’s reach...No enemies. No fear.

This story is about the interaction of the two within The House of Chaos.

People can make you happy, sad, mad, etc. but pets really only know how to make you happy. Sometimes the cat seems like the only person on my side, and sometimes it is just nice to know I’m not completely alone.

12.Gypsy, and Tasha, sadly have not blogged since Christmas, but they HAVE managed to send out an e-mail that assures us that they have not not lost any of the 18 Lives they have between them!

The old post they wish to share is one they call a Three New Things Meme, in which they share adorable photos of themselves, and 3 things, of course! ;-D

13. and 13 1/2. There is a new CatBlogger joining the Cat Blogging Community, and I'm using the Hosts perogative to share not just the cute post submitted, which got the blog started, but the wonderfully amusing 2nd one, as well. ;-D

There's a reason this entry in the Carnival is in the position it is, and it appeals to my Peculiar Sense of Humor. ;-D

Please welcome Diary of a Bad Cat, and its Feline...Clarence (He brags that he has unusually large teeth, a superb intellect, prowess as a jazz musician, and extreme coolness.) ;-D
